In this raw and unfiltered episode, Mark Fitzgerald pulls back the curtain on his personal journey from corporate burnout to property entrepreneurship, revealing the doubts and anxieties that nearly held him back from changing his life.After 16 years climbing the corporate ladder, Mark found himself trapped in the all-too-familiar hamster wheel—dreading each workday, feeling emotionally numb, and seeing no clear path forward. "I wasn't really feeling like I had proper feelings anymore," he confesses. "I even paraglided off a very big mountain in Turkey because I wanted to feel scared." This powerful moment of clarity forced him to confront a difficult truth: something had to change.With remarkable candor, Mark discusses the terrifying leap of taking voluntary redundancy, the kitchen table moments of despair wondering if success would ever come, and the persistent voice of self-doubt that whispered he might fail. Yet through consistent action, building the right support network, and refusing to give up, he successfully established thriving businesses in HMOs, serviced accommodation, and holiday lets.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Mark's insistence that his success isn't due to special talent or privilege. "I'm nothing special," he emphasizes. "You've just got to know what you're doing. Do the right things in the right order, consistently and persistently." He debunks the myth of overnight success and offers practical wisdom on creating momentum in your property journey.Ready to push past your own fears and take that first step toward building your property business?

Send us a textDue diligence makes or breaks your serviced accommodation business. Without proper analysis, you're simply gambling with your investment capital and hoping for the best.Successful SA operators treat each property as its own business entity, requiring thorough market research and financial analysis. This means systematically tracking competitor properties and local hotels through detailed spreadsheets, monitoring price fluctuations month-by-month to understand seasonal variations and demand patterns. Unlike traditional rentals, serviced accommodation relies on dynamic pricing – rates that fluctuate dramatically based on local events, seasons, and demand cycles. A Premier Inn near Wembley Stadium might charge £100 per night normally but command £900-1000 during major events!Understanding your cost structure is equally crucial. Fixed costs (mortgage/rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance fund) must be paid regardless of occupancy. Variable costs (cleaning, linen, sundries) fluctuate with guest turnover, while cost of sales (OTA commissions, booking systems) directly relate to securing bookings. The smartest operators establish a monthly maintenance pot (£100/property) that accumulates over time, creating a financial buffer against unexpected repairs.The golden rule? Your break-even point should be 50% occupancy or less. Many novices accept break-even points of 65% or higher, severely limiting profit potential. For optimal performance, target 70-75% occupancy – consistently higher rates often indicate underpricing, while lower occupancy suggests overpricing or market issues.Ready to build a six-figure SA business?

Send us a textThrowback Thursday Episode – From Corporate Careers to Property Freedom: The Keys to Doors JourneyIn this Throwback Thursday feature, we're revisiting one of the most impactful conversations on the show—an inspiring episode with Peter from Keys to Doors, who, alongside his partner Monica, carved a new life for themselves through property investing.Their journey didn't begin with years of experience or a background in construction—it started with a book read on a beach during a well-earned vacation. That moment sparked a fire that led them away from the 9–5 grind and into the world of property, but not without plenty of planning, sacrifice, and lessons learned.They began small with single-let properties, building experience and confidence. As their knowledge grew, they strategically moved into HMOs and later into commercial conversions—always taking a methodical approach and adapting when needed. Their dual business model—combining long-term asset acquisition with short-term trading income through joint ventures—gave them the financial security and flexibility to leave their corporate jobs behind. First Monica, then Peter.But what really sets their story apart is their ability to pivot with purpose. When the COVID-19 pandemic made sourcing discounted deals nearly impossible, they didn't stall—they shifted to supported living properties, benefiting from stronger cash flow and fewer day-to-day management demands. As the market evolves again, they're now reintroducing flip projects, showing once more how agility is just as important as ambition.This episode is more than just a timeline of deals—it's a raw and honest reflection on the realities of property investing. In 2022, Peter and Monica hit burnout. That moment of realisation changed everything. They now prioritise quarterly international breaks and regular weekend retreats to maintain their energy, creativity, and quality of life.As Peter says:“Property investing is a long game. It's better to be steady and methodical—and have a good balance of taking care of yourself.”For anyone thinking about starting in property, Peter shares golden advice:Invest in education to reduce fear and build confidenceUse systematic viewing strategies to accurately assess refurbishment costsSurround yourself with a supportive community to find JV partners and mentorsDon't miss this powerful throwback episode filled with insight, resilience, and the mindset needed to build success that lasts.VALUABLE RESOURCES: Visit www.thepropertyunleashed.com to explore are free Property Ebooks and guides in Rent-to-Rent, Serviced Accommodation, Deal Sourcing and and also our FREE training masterclasses to help you generating a sustainable income through property. https://www.facebook.com/groups/816926952556608 to meet like-minded property investors and be a part of the community.

Send us a textDue to high demand, we're bringing this one back!This throwback episode is a fan favourite and one of the most downloaded from The Property Unleashed Podcast archives.Persuasion isn't just a business skill—it's the foundation of wealth creation in property entrepreneurship. When you can effectively communicate your vision, build genuine rapport, and influence others ethically, deals materialize that benefit everyone involved.Today's episode dives deep into the psychology of persuasion that's transformed countless property deals. We explore why listening is more powerful than speaking, how authentic passion transfers energy to potential partners, and why the best communicators know exactly when to stop talking. Remember: two ears, one mouth—use them in that proportion!Drawing inspiration from masters like Dale Carnegie and Steve Jobs, we break down practical techniques you can implement immediately. Learn how to create natural-sounding scripts, tell compelling stories that sell, and avoid common communication pitfalls that sabotage deals. The most valuable tip? "Don't sell past close." When you recognize someone's ready to move forward, change the subject (I personally start talking about the weather) instead of continuing to pile on information that might create doubt.These aren't just theoretical concepts—they're battle-tested strategies I've refined through years of property deals and business leadership. Whether you're negotiating with vendors, pitching to investors, or building your team, mastering influential communication will elevate every aspect of your property journey. Practice these techniques daily, even in casual interactions, and watch your confidence and closing rates transform!VALUABLE RESOURCES: Visit www.thepropertyunleashed.com to explore are free Property Ebooks and guides in Rent-to-Rent, Serviced Accommodation, Deal Sourcing and and also our FREE training masterclasses to help you generating a sustainable income through property. https://www.facebook.com/groups/816926952556608 to meet like-minded property investors and be a part of the community.

Send us a textWhy do some people take action and succeed while others remain stuck despite having the same knowledge? This fascinating conversation with performance coach Dominic Bicheno uncovers the hidden psychological barriers that keep us from achieving our potential.After 18 years and over 10,000 coaching hours with 3,000+ business leaders, Dominic has identified the subconscious programming that sabotages success. He explains that while our conscious mind wants to achieve, our primitive brain is wired to keep us safe and comfortable, triggering fear responses that hold us back from taking risks.The most illuminating revelation? These mental blocks were installed during childhood (ages 0-12) when our brains operated in theta and delta wavelength states that absorbed information without filters. One childhood incident can create a limiting belief that influences decisions decades later. Even more surprisingly, we inherit psychological blocks from our ancestors just as we inherit genetic tendencies.Dominic shares powerful techniques for breaking through these limitations, explaining why meditation, visualization, and specialized hypnotherapy like Rapid Transformational Therapy can create profound shifts by accessing those same theta brainwave states where original programming occurred. He emphasizes that environment shapes outcomes—"you're the average of the five people you spend most time with"—and sometimes major life changes are necessary to break limiting patterns.Whether you're hesitating to make offers on property deals, struggling to grow your business, or feeling stuck in any area of life, Dominic's insights provide both understanding and practical tools for transformation. His message is ultimately hopeful: by recognizing our programming and consciously creating new neural pathways, we can overcome any psychological barrier and finally achieve the success we desire.Connect with Dominic at www.unleash-u.com to discover how to break through your own limiting beliefs and unleash your full potential.VALUABLE RESOURCES: Visit www.thepropertyunleashed.com to explore are free Property Ebooks and guides in Rent-to-Rent, Serviced Accommodation, Deal Sourcing and and also our FREE training masterclasses to help you generating a sustainable income through property. https://www.facebook.com/groups/816926952556608 to meet like-minded property investors and be a part of the community.

In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, we sit down with Michael Paton, founder of MAP Short Stays, to explore his incredible journey from a challenging upbringing to becoming a successful property investor and short-term rental manager. Michael shares his personal story, from his troubled youth and early brushes with the law to turning his life around and building a thriving property management business. Now managing properties across Scotland, Michael specialises in short-term rentals, particularly in the contractor market, and reveals the systems, processes, and strategies that have allowed him to scale his business successfully. Episode Highlights: Michael's Early Life: Michael shares his upbringing, where he moved around frequently with his mother, struggled in school, and was expelled twice before being sent to a residential school. He reflects on how his rebellious youth, shaped by peer pressure and a lack of positive influence, eventually gave way to a sense of responsibility and a desire to build a better future for himself. Turning Point and Career Shift: After working for nearly 20 years in social care, including roles with at-risk youth and people with mental health challenges, Michael realised he wanted more flexibility to spend time with his family. His first experience as an accidental landlord in 2014 sparked his interest in property, though the traditional buy-to-let model didn't initially excite him. By 2021, he shifted focus to the short-term rental market, seeing an opportunity in holiday homes and caravans. Building a Short-Term Rental Business: Michael discusses how he scaled his short-term rental management business, starting with holiday caravans and lodges and growing into managing a portfolio of properties across Scotland. He explains the importance of having strong systems and processes in place, from automated guest communication to efficient cleaning protocols and contractor management. Challenges and Lessons Learned: Michael reflects on the challenges of finding the right business partners and emphasises the importance of thorough due diligence before entering into any business relationship. He also talks about the difficulties of scaling a business and the need for consistent hard work—working 16-18 hours a day, ensuring properties are managed to the highest standard. The Contractor Market: Michael has found a niche in managing short-term lets for contractors, offering long-term bookings and consistent income for landlords. He breaks down how to manage contractor bookings, the key amenities contractors look for (e.g., parking and laundry facilities), and how to achieve high occupancy rates. Managing Short-Term Let Licences: With Scotland's evolving legislation on short-term lets, Michael outlines the licensing process and how long it can take depending on the council area. Revenue and Profitability: Michael gives a realistic overview of the potential earnings in short-term lets, sharing that a well-managed three-bedroom property can generate around £4,000 a month in gross revenue. He stresses the importance of occupancy rates and setting realistic expectations for returns. Tune in to hear Michael Paton's inspiring story of transformation and learn practical strategies for scaling a successful short-term rental business in Scotland!

This podcast is about how to find properties. There are different ways that you can approach this. Speak to estate agents and look on online estate agent portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla. Do letter drops to local properties?  It may not always be a landlord, but you never know who might see your letter.  Talk about the benefits you can bring to the landlord, and make sure you include your contact details. It's crucial to be honest with estate agents about your intentions and ensure that the properties you either buy or rent are suitable for serviced accommodation. This not only builds trust but also sets a standard for ethical business practices in the property investment sector. You must check mortgages and leases to ensure both allow serviced accommodation.

Subletting After reading a post on Facebook from someone that I believe sells courses on Serviced Accommodation I wanted to clear something up. When you find a property that you want to rent for the purposes of using it for Serviced Accommodation you need to make sure that the lease allows it.  The post on Facebook said that you should state in the lease that you are subletting the property. Subletting is not what we do.  The lease should state that the property can be used for Serviced Accommodation.

In this podcast episode, we talk to Dan, Director of Your Save Management, who shares his journey in the property industry, starting from his teenage years when he initially got into property investment. Dan discusses his experiences with various property strategies, including rent to HMO and service accommodation, and emphasises the importance of work ethic, integrity, and reputation in achieving long-term success in the industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Building a strong reputation through honesty, integrity, and delivering on promises is crucial for long-term success in the property industry. Traits such as a strong work ethic, a willingness to do whatever it takes, and a focus on helping others are essential for success and longevity in the industry. Success in the industry comes from solving people's problems, which leads to long-term relationships and financial rewards. Your Stays offers comprehensive service accommodation management services to help property owners maximize income and reduce management headaches. BEST MOMENTS “The biggest advice I'd give around that subject is that your first couple of years is so incredibly difficult to get off the ground if you're starting with very little capital." "I think the glory days of opening something up, chucking it on one of the portals and sitting back and watching that money roll in, that was a short time frame." "If you can solve someone's problem, then there's longevity in that and everything else will come along as a result of it."  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.
